Both Olivia and Amanda were taken aback when they found out that someone down at the 1-6, had managed to throw both Elliot and Fin a surprise Daddy shower. Of course it was just men only but still it made them feel extremely left out. The way that both men had been acting made them wonder, why they were acting this way.
Especially since the two had become very close friends and hung out every weekend together. Although it was good for them, both women knew that their constant baby shopping needed to stop. Finacially they couldn't afford to keep on doing this.
The men didn't arrive home until well after 10pm, by then Olivia was extremely furious with Elliot," You said it was for a few hours, then I find it was more than that. Don't even start making up excuses."
" Liv, the game was on," he started to tell her, but quickly stopped. It was no use of trying to explain that to her, when she didn't believe him. Besides that was the truth, but having a fight over this wasn't something he wanted to do.
Olivia wasn't finished with what she had to say," You are overspending on baby stuff, we need the money to pay the bills. This needs to stop, our son has everything. We both agreed that we weren't going to spoil him."
" I'm not just buying for our son, It's also for our grandchild too."
She glared at him," No more spending El, one more thing don't you dare think about taking paternity leave; when our son is born. I know Fin is thinking of doing that."
" We're not having twins and he has every right to. I'm taking a few days off after you give birth to be with the two of you. That's all."
Olivia nodded, " At least you don't get up in the middle of the night and go on the computer to shop more for baby items."
Elliot shook his head," That's not why he's getting up, let's just say when he came home from work several days ago; he discovered that Amanda had adopted a dog ." At least the two didn't have any pets for now. Both had agreed upon getting one, once their son was older.
Neither of them, were not about to break that agreement. As the two climbed into bed, Olivia reached over for a baby name book. She had a few names that she liked, but knew wasn't a conversation she wanted to have with Elliot now.
The last time they spoke about baby names, they got into an , Elliot wasn't too keen on the name she liked, but he himself had no idea on what to name their son. When it came to Amanda and Fin, it was agreed that if one or both of the twins was a girl; she could chose out the names. If it went the other way, it was his choice.
Yet, the arugments would continued. In fact, the two weren't aruging about name but about the dog that Amanda had adopted. Luckily it was already a year old, and not a puppy. However, Fin wasn't too happy about this.
Being that the dog was small and didn't go against the apartment rules for having one; he still hesitated, " How are we going to take care of him and the twins?"
Amanda yawned sightly, " We'll manage, it would be good for our kids to grow up having a pet."
" Couldn't you wait until they were older, you don't see Liv and El doing that?"
She shook her head, "Why are you comparing us to them, it's not a competition baby," she answered, "Come to bed, it's late and don't be going on line to do anymore shopping."
Once that finally stopped, Amanda was able to relax. However, Fin was still making her a nervous wreck, which entailed him and Munch getting into several fights at work. Inside, he himself didn't know if he could really handle taking care of two babies at the sametime. Although it was a one thing to be excited but underneath it all; Fin was overly nervous.
He ended up lashing out at Elliot, whom was only trying to help. It only resulted in a loud and heated arugement in which was broken up by Cragen. For the rest of the day, Fin kept to himself but when he didn't come home Amanda grew worried.
She too was nervous, but knew that Fin felt the same. In fact, once he did come home; Amanda saw the look on his face," We need to talk, I know you feel overwhelmed but so do I. I don't know how I'm going to deliever them both."
Fin exhaled softly," I'm not giving up on us, just hard I never thought I'd be a father of twins."
" That makes two of us, " Amanda said," You shouldn't have lashed out at Elliot, although he's constantly driving Liv crazy. He's too overly excited about both the baby and their impending grandchild."
Fin chuckled as he got undressed," Don't get me started on that. He went from freaking out to being an overly excited grandpa to be. I think his daughter is getting sick of him calling her twenty times a day. I would if I was her."
That was exactly how Maureen was feeling to the point that she yelled at Elliot from over the phone; making Olivia take the phone from him before hanging up, " Enough, you can't keep on calling Maureen all the time. In case you forgot, I'm closer to giving birth then she is."
" I know that, just want to make sure that both her and baby are fine."
Olivia rolled her eyes," Do it once a day, she understands you're excited but it's too much. Do me another favor lay off Fin, I don't want to hear that the captain had to step in break you two up."
By the next month, Elliot was only calling Maureen once a day. His own nerves would increased once Kathleen told him the news about her engagement.
